Everybody has its favorite backup program, but why rely on only one system?
I have to backup 8 servers and use three backup systems in parallel.
-- BackupPC. Easy to use, nice user interface with graphical recovery of individual files. A pain to set up, basically, all errors in setup give the same error message. Reduces used space by hardlinks. Data structure is not transparent, so no recovery by browsing the storage directories. -- storeBackup. easy to use, easy to set up, but no nice user interface. Reduces used space nicely by using hardlinks. Used as second line of defence. Stores 1:1 copies of original filesystem, so easy browsing. -- tar. Used for disaster recovery. Produces large dumps. Only use it for system data, not for user data.
just another one (rsyns/hardlink based):
rsnapshot
its used here extensively and just works (storage browsable).
